Japanese online retailer 7net is currently previewing the cover of the April issue of Shogakukan's Monthly Hero's magazine, which lists an anime adaptation for illustrator Kazasa Sumita (Witchblade Takeru) and storywriter Shinya Murata's (Jackals) Killing Bites manga.

Quote:

The official English website for Monthly Hero's describes the manga:

People have been created that are human-animal hybrids, and powerful businesses bet on the outcome of their duels. College student Nomoto Yuuya's casual acquaintances ask him to drive them around to pick up girls one day, which he soon finds out means by force. The girl they kidnap is an animal-human hybrid named Hitomi, who slaughters all of them except Yuuya. Hitomi is a honey badger, which has been called the most fearless of all animals. Now Hitomi is assigned to stay with Yuuya, for his protection!

Killing Bites are underworld duels between human-animal hybrids.
One beast who knows no fear will fight in this animalistic world full of fear and insanity.

The manga illustrator posted to images celebrating the anime adaptation.

An anime adaptation project based on Shinya Murata (story) and Kazuasa Sumida (art)'s battle action manga Killing Bites was officially announced in the latest April 2017 issue of Monthly Hero's magazine released yesterday. At the same time with the announcement, the manga illustrator Sumida posted a celebration art featuring the protagonist Hitomi Uzaki on the manga's official Twitter account.

Yasuto Nishikata (episode director for The Heroic Legend of Arslan, The Seven Deadly Sins) is directing the series at LIDEN FILMS (Love and Lies, The Heroic Legend of Arslan).
Aoi Akashiro (Classroom of the Elite, Fuuka) is in charge of series composition,
and Kazuo Watanabe (The Heroic Legend of Arslan, Oku-sama wa Joshi Kōsei) is designing the characters.
Yasuharu Takanashi (Naruto Shippūden, Fairy Tail) is composing the music.

Anyway, I think this show was more like mindless action with poorly crafted characters. The story is trying really hard to get me to like it but so far, I don't think it's working.
Of course, this is just the first episode so I'm hoping it will improve.

I've read a bit of the manga so I knew what I was getting into, but I got even more dumb OTT hilarity than I expected. From the hammy narration (...will they do this with the snake penis part, too? I'll be so there) and the whole very honest "BEAST FIGHTS AND CHEESECAKE, WOO-HOO!" aspect, to tiger dude wearing that hilariously stupid outfit in the OP (I still say it's his sister's).

Lion guy was a letdown, though, that roar was seriously lame. Also, man, you're a LION. What are you doing trying to punch your opponent with those ridiculous paws.

I like this. It's gory, it's fast, it got no censorship at all and it's basically half-furry girls battling it out who got the meanest bite! I wish they would keep the whole "title your attack" party away but whatever.^^

to be clear is not just "girls" but also males, the battles don't have just girls as we saw in first episode, they gonna battle either male or female beastpeoples.

I really do like that manga it's giving a "fighting game vibe" like street fighter, or darkstalker or samurai showdown, the fanservice looks really "awesome"(no censorship ), that serie was on my "watch list" and i do hope this can help booster manga populairity if it still running and we can get more "translations from the manga since no new chapters since a really long time.

the way the narration keeps going on about the animals in the middle of the fights reminds of one manga named Aranacid which was about insects where the narrator would constantly, BY THE WAY THIS INSECT IS KNOWN FOR THIS

really looking for it.

And also bring back the fighting game that was canceled and maybe be done by a well known game developer instead of that crappy one.

Arachnid and Killing bite have the same author, Murata Shinya .

I actually wish Arachnid will become anime instead of this but oh well both are fun anyway.

well, the Manga was drawn by the same author as Arachnid and has the same asides (basically explaining why this animal has this advantage in the fights)
